Most Despised Packers

And I suppose you liked the hit Warren Sapp put on Chad Clifton for the same reason?

Charles Martin, IMHO, was a reflection of the head coach's (Forrest Gregg) attitude. Trying to create a fiery attitude and nasty playing mentality he fostered or allowed dirty play (late hits, some cheap shots). Martin felt, IMHO, that he was following orders by slamming McMahon. Surprised Gregg coached another year after the body slam.

While I agree with you (as does Mike Ditka), that doesn't forgive Martin for what he did. Still goes down as one of the top gutless thug moves in the NFL in my book.

That's MISTER Cheesehead, to you.
Agreed. If there is one thing that I am ashamed of in regards to the GB Packers, it's this.

Have you ever heard any of the stories of the NFL before ...say 1970... and how the players got away with most anything? The Martin era was the very last of that attitude.

You are probably correct and I should have added to my statement......"Still goes down as one of the top gutless thug moves in the NFL in my book....since I started watching football."

The three offseasons of retiring then unretiring. The three offseasons of wavering and not allowing the Packers to plan accordingly (either moving on or moving forward with him).
Just a side note, I find it odd that you're so offended by me not liking Brett Favre.

Yours is a better explanation than the one I hear too often "he was a traitor and played for the Vikings".
While I don't discount that Favre got a bit too "big" for his own good as well as the teams at the end of his time in Green Bay, I find it difficult to not look at the situation for what it was and still be thankful that the Green Bay Packers had Brett Favre for so many good years in Green Bay.
Nobody is saying that they don't "appreciate" all of the years Favre spent with the organization. Favre is an all-time great. I still maintain that he is arguably the second greatest quarterback of all-time (behind Tom Brady). The last few years were like a bad relationship. The early years were amazing (Super Bowl win, 3-time MVPs), but the relationship ended on bad terms (essentially holding the organization hostage, waiting for him to decide if he wanted to keep playing).

Did you really "disagree" with my opinion about which former Packer I like the least?

He`s not unique, he just asked a question.
. Again though, we have a WHOLE section on Mr Favre. I would say this is a little of my issue with Rodgers earlier this years though. I`m a PACKER fan, not necessarily a Packer player fan.

I have a far different perspective on what a player would have to be guilty of for him to earn the "most hated" status. Former Packers Mossy Cade was a convicted ****** and even worse Darren Sharper was a convicted serial ******. Worst of all, former Packer Randall Woodfield was a convicted ******, torturer, and serial killer.
To me, hating a guy for what he did or didn't do on the playing field hardly qualifies them for being deserving of the ultimate negative emotion that one can have for them. Personally, I'll reserve "most hated" for the above ilk and also for players from other teams who, too, have been found guilty of heinous crimes. Scumbags such as Aaron Hernandez, Rae Carruth, and Ray Lewis* They're in a class all to themselves.
*Ray Lewis - who was the only person from his "posse" that had been found guilty of a crime (copped a plea) in the shooting death outside of a nightclub several years back. Nevertheless, has been lionized by the NFL ever since his trial and conviction and that has never sat well with me. Apparently, playing football well can supersede playing life badly.

Wow! Talk about missing the point.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. Why would your opinion have such an impact on me that I would be offended?

He`s not unique, he just asked a question.
I get it. I'm just saying that the question was asked about one's most despised Packer. He's the person who will forever stand out in my mind. For me, he stands out the most because he was, and for the most part still is, the face of the Green Bay Packers. He's on the Mount Rushmore of Packers next to Lombardi, Starr, and Rodgers. It is easy to dislike a bit player in the history of the Packers (such as Hunt or Bostick or BJ Sanders). For me, he stands out.

I get your point. You hate him because he's a horrible human being. I'm just pointing out that it is a most despised former Packer question and he was a Packer for the time it takes my coffee to brew in the morning.

Read into it as you see fit, but trust me, you don't have that power over me.
